5 1.0 Introduction to Manitoba s First Impressions Community Exchange Thank you for volunteering to be a member of your community s First Impressions Community Exchange Team. Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Initiatives is pleased to introduce this effective idea to you and we are confident that your experience will be enlightening, interesting and rewarding. First Impressions Community Exchange helps communities learn about their strengths and weaknesses as seen through the eyes of a first time visitor. Knowing about these strengths and weaknesses helps those who want to be proactive about the growth of their home communities and who want to make them more vibrant places to live and work. It is a program modeled after one originally developed at the University of Wisconsin and since used by hundreds of communities across Canada and the U.S. You and a group of other community volunteers, will be making an anonymous visit to another community in Manitoba that is similar to your home community yet unfamiliar. Your team has agreed to visit this community to provide feedback. Your first impressions will be reported back to the exchange community to help determine their community s strengths, weaknesses, areas of opportunity and ideas for improvement. The exchange community will also gather a group of volunteer who will make a return visit to your community to provide the same service an objective opinion of your community s strengths, weaknesses and opportunities. 2.0 Why First Impressions? The First Impressions Community Exchange (FICE) provides an unbiased assessment of a community from volunteers who then receive the same unbiased assessment from the exchange community s volunteers. First Impressions Community Exchange Visitation Team Guide 3
6 The information that you provide and receive will: help identify both positive attributes and weaknesses in the community (Ex: community services, housing, business, industry, customer service, public infrastructure, health care, social services, education) provide a basis for a community vision or plan identify issues needed for downtown revitalization identify tourism strengths and weaknesses provide a sense of how a potential new entrepreneur or business investor might view your community provide information about services and infrastructure available to local businesses assess customer service in the community FICE is meant to serve as a catalyst or spark in a longer strategic economic development planning process. Your community should be willing to respond to some of the recommendations and be open to constructive feedback. 3.0 Planning for the Visit When you visit the exchange community, your group will be completing a questionnaire about various aspects of the other community. You will also take photos to help record some of the key areas of interest. To plan for this visit, your group will meet with the FICE community co-ordinator to review the questionnaire, checklists, maps and trip logistics (approx. two-hour commitment). During these discussions, your group will determine specific responsibilities. The co-ordinator will make the arrangements for the trip to visit your exchange community and will share the details with you. 4 First Impressions Community Exchange Visitation Team Guide
7 4.0 The Exchange Visit During the visit to your exchange community, you will tour the community, take photos, interact with people in the community, complete a questionnaire and return it to the co-ordinator. Some of the activities during your visit include: an initial group drive through of the community finding the information you need to answer your pre-assigned questions - as you interact with people in the community, you will play roles (E.g., a new resident, shopper, person considering moving to the area, tourist or someone looking to open a business) - the role you play will depend on the places you visit and the questions you ask (E.g., if you are pretending to be a new resident, you may ask someone on the street about recreational opportunities) be discreet as you record your observations and seek information about the community you visit Once you have completed your assignments, your group will plan a meeting to ensure all questions have been answered and appropriate photos taken. 5.0 Tips You ll get better information if residents do not know that you are assessing their community. Try to discover the great things about the community, as well as its weaknesses. Feel free to record additional community strengths and weaknesses not included on the questionnaire. Appear to be shopping, conducting business, or making a social visit. Strike up casual conversations with residents. Be observant. Enjoy yourself.
